JOHN DOE, Plaintiff, v. MARK GWYN, in his official capacity as Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Defendant.


ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney's Fees [Doc. 65]. This matter has been fully briefed [Docs. 65, 66, 71], and the undersigned previously referred the matter to United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton [Doc. 70]. Judge Guyton issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") [Doc. 73], recommending that Plaintiff's motion be granted. There have been no timely objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).

After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney's Fees should be granted. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R&R, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney's Fees [Doc. 65] is GRANTED. Plaintiff is AWARDED $58,410.00 in attorney's fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
